I think one appealing thing about mastodon is that all the little federated villages remind me of the MUSH community in the late 90s. Where you could get a MUSH installed, but it was running on the money and good will of some random stranger. It's the whole... little pieces of technology running on sharing and love... thing.
does anyone have docs on setting up a mastodon instance? #lazyweb thanks in advance
Additionally, anyone using ShEx for shape validation? Been writing these for PCDM (digital repository in libraries specific low level data model with some implementation specific profiles on top), am attempting to write for BIBFRAME, maybe want to test first with EDM. Anyone using this - in production? The Ruby ShEx impl? Is there work on a Python or Scala one?
I like some of the thinking in Mastadon. It's great to decentralize and community manage critical social networking. It will be even better if the underlying pipes are similarly trusted with ideas in this conference: https://www.decentralizedweb.net/
whoa, never got that before from gh https://mastodon.cloud/media/XdIxwlb_r1idsrJ2XQo
how do people get colleagues to be better about using/approaching git + GitHub? e.g. have two metadata colleagues who are trying to run scripts I wrote them, but don't ever pull down latest changes (with bug repairs after they report back) before rerunning, then blame the script (+ not the whole process).
